This report summarizes data collected with the Draft SECN Amphibian Community MonitoringProtocol at Fort Sumter National Monument in 2010. Data were collected at four spatially-balanced random locations at the Monument with two techniques: automated recording devices and visual-encounter surveys. 16 amphibians of two species and three reptiles of two species were recorded. One reptile species, eastern glass lizard (Ophisaurus ventralis), was the first recorded occurrence at the Monument and an addition to the species list. This monitoring protocol will be implemented again at the Monument in 2013.
